My Daughter a Hokie Grad and my son in law

also a hokie grad decided to homeschool my grandkids. Not because of school shootings but because of the breakdown of the quality of education in the public school systems. My 13yr old grandson is now taking second year college courses. My 10 yr old grandson is taking high school senior courses...oh they arent worried about school shootings. They have been trained to handle weapons and how to defend themselves...Jmho..more kids will become home schooled not because of school shooters but because they need an education that many public schools no longer provide...
